Project HEAL's Commitment to Anti-racism

Dear friends & community,

As Project HEAL’s CEO, I speak on behalf of our staff, board, and volunteers when I say: The violence and systemic injustice that Black people experience in America is unacceptable. Black lives matter. We will not be silent in this long overdue conversation about race in America, and we are heeding the urgent call to action we are hearing from the Black community. We must do better, and we will.

To the Black people in the Project HEAL community: we see you, we are listening, and we are so grieved over the unrelenting pain you continue to endure. You matter to us, deeply. We are committed to being actively anti-racist, both personally and programmatically. We are committed to self-examination and accountability, especially as an organization founded by two white women who represent the dominant ED narrative, and as a majority white staff. We will continue doing the work as an organization to unlearn and learn, and to be better allies and activists, both in this moment and going forward. 

We stand with you, and we love you.

Rebecca Eyre, MA, LMHC
